Suge Knight accepts plea deal for suspended license

2 years ago

Former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight will spend the next two years on probation.

According to TMZ.com, on Thursday the hip-hop executive struck a deal with prosecutors on charges of driving with a suspended license.

Apart from 24 months of probation, Knight will also have to pay a small fine. Suge was scheduled to appear in court earlier this week, but skipped the hearing, forcing a judge to issue a warrant for his arrest.

At the height of its popularity, the Death Row Records roster included rap superstars Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre with whom Knight co-founded the label.
